Ac and heating repair service near Porter, TX

It took 2 business weeks and a weekend for this place to fix my car. Something simple turned into a nightmare. He replaced 4 coils and had to replace the computer. Supposedly the computer went bad when the coils went out, this should not have taken so long to repair. He purchased a "NEW" computer, it was bad so he had to go back (I'm assuming to the auto junk yard) and get another one. A NEW computer wouldn't be "bad" upon purchase. The computer programmer guy took forever to come, when he did come he couldn't do it, so he had to call another computer guy, then this guy didn't have the right programs when he came out the first time, so he had to leave and come back the next day and program it. I will NEVER go back and I advise you to never go either. He overbooks himself and tells you he will fix it and get it back to you the next day. It doesn't happen. This is a very unprofessional auto shop. There's cars ever where. They do not communicate with you about your car or call you back. I made countless BLANK trips to the shop because he would not answer his phone, call back or give me a call in the first place to find out the status of my car, just to find out it will be fixed "TOMORROW" - this went on for 11 DAYS. One of the mechanics wrote bitch on my back window (in the dirt with his finger). There was other car parts propped on my car. They play loud music, drink beer and talk. When it was finally fixed 11 days later my car had grease all over the steering wheel, gear stick, windows and doors, it was filthy. You would think after an auto shop took so long to fix the car, they would do something to make it right. At least refund a part of the $585 or wash your car. I will NEVER go back, EVER. I advise you to choose another mechanic.

Was sent to this shop by Discount Tires to repair a stud they broke on my van. This shop is horrible, they lack in Customer Service and gave me the run around and never fixed the van. Discount Tires was notifed and they are currently looking for a new vendor.

Horrible Service. These boys don't know what there doing. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BUSINESS HERE. They took my money but did not provide the service stated on the invoice. Had to get new brakes and rotors within 3 months of them putting new brakes and Rotors on, really really!!! Better Business Bureau gives this Meineke location an "F" rating . Sad but true they are not to be trusted. This business is not BBB accredited.

11-18 -19 My car over heated. Stan, who is a lair and a cheat, told me it was a thermostat. So I greed to have them fix it. Then Stan called claiming the water pump was bad and it is easier to replace the timing belt at this time so I agreed. While they changed the timing belt they mistimed the engine and destroyed it. They bought a replacement engine a “ salvaged” long block. No telling how many mile is on it! I asked that they put the parts I paid for on the salvaged engine. Almost ONE month later, 12-16-19 after repeated calls made by me I was able to pick up my car. I presented the rental car bill and Stan, who is a lair and a cheat said the owner will send me a check, but my car broke after 10 minutes of driving. They tried to claimed it was the exhaust not the engine but eventually cleared the problem. I asked Stan who is a lair and a cheat, if the new parts are on my car and he said no, but I’m going to warranty it for 3yrs 36k miles prorated. Next morning the engine light came on so I took it to the dealer it was there for 3 days while repairing the wiring and sensors that weren’t wired correctly and install missing bolts on the engine! To date my car has still overheated 2X I have exhaust fumes in the cab and most importantly I have not been reimbursed for the rental car and don’t have the parts I paid for.

They took apart the steering column of the 1997 Chevy Blazer to check why brake lights and hazard lights were not working. They told me the problem was the electronic lighting module, which was about $500+ to repair. A couple days later, the lights started working again. When you google this, you'll see this is a common Chevy issue with the hazard lights switch know on top of the steering colum sticking. If this happens to you, simply work it several times, spray some switch cleaner, and that should solve your problem. If not, replace the switch knob, which sells for about $18 online. Anyway, be wary of taking something complicated to this shop!

I was never told that the tires were not balanced. Tires were mounted on the rims but never balanced. Not balancing the tires caused damage to the tires after I drove the RV on the highway . This caused an extremely harsh ride. Violet and heavy shaking. When I returned the RV to JV Houston Tires & Wheels I was informed they could not balance the wheels because they did not have the proper hubs for the tire balancing machine. I have attempted to have the tires balanced, at my expense to no avail. This has gone on for a year with no attempt to rectify the problem. Very hard person to deal with.

I trust I can save someone else from the anguish I've suffered taking my two vehicles to this place for almost two years after spending thousands of dollars. Tires, oil change, no problem. Everything else, go somewhere else. February 22, 2012, I brought my 2004 Hyundai Sonata for an oil leak and engine hesitation. Place repaired the valve cover gasket for the oil leak, sent me on my way, could not find any reason for hesitation. The car stalled one block from place, they pushed it back into the shop. Stayed overnight. Next day shop found oil leak hag got into the timing belt and had messed up a sensor. They cleaned everything up and the car worked fine, they recommended I change timing belt which I did not. I complained of a power steering leak, but they advised all was fine, or that it wasn't so bad to make a repair, or something to that effect. Fast forward to last week June, 2012. Car has been hesitating for a while, plus I smelled an oil leak. I only took the car for an oil change, somewhere else, where a terrible oil leak was identified from the valve cover gasket. They identified as well that the power steering pump was leaking so bad it had ruined the rack and pinion (estimate to repair around $1,200) A second shop concurred and found that the lower control arm bushing was all worn out and also needed replacing. Second shop estimate, including asking to replace the timing belt, was $3,900. This Goodyear shop said they valve cover gasket was warranted (as if I should have taken the vehicle there) and when asked about the stalling issue, first they said the oil damaged a sensor and when I pointed out that the oil from their failed repair damaged the sensor, he backtracked saying the sensor failure was unrelated to the oil... not much of a surprise there. I also told the manager that the repair they did not do, brake lights not working in the 1997 Blazer, where they also told me that I had to go to the dealer to fix the ABS switc

This was a very unacceptable experience today, Sunday Dec. 15, 2013. My boyfriend dropped off his car here to get a brakejob, and someone took him home since it would be an all day job. The person told him he would pick him up when complete. I came by to simply get an oil change they said would take an hour. I searched for others on 1960, but there were none so I returned and was told 45 minutes this time. So I entered the waiting room and a fellow was talking on the phone at noon saying he'd been there since 9 for an oil change. I looked in the repair area and saw 2 teenage boys in their shorts and one slightly older guy in long pants being the only workers. I went to the desk and told them that after 45 mins. I would get my key and leave whether or not they had started. They completed mine but failed to turn off the maintenance reqd light. Later around 5:30, as I was going to my last tango practice of the year, my boyfriend called to come all the way to Cypress to pick him up since they never answered the phone to do so. About half way he called and said someone was on the way. Then called again saying he had to find a ride with a neighbor because no one showed after he waited for 30 mins outside his house in the cold weather. VERY unprofessional, not answering their workphone or following thru on the pickup. This ruined both our evenings!! Susan Young

I took my car there after getting a nail in my tire, which was covered by Firestone's road hazard insurance. They told me that I had two punctures that were too close together to be repaired, so I need to buy a new tire which cost $105.00 after rebate. I didn't fall for that and strongly insisted that they repair the tire.

I purchased a LS P75 head from this place on a Friday and was later told on the following Monday, by the owner, that I was suppose to remove the head myself. I requested for a refund that Monday and was told Tuesday to pick up the head because they finally removed it that day. The owner said, " Sorry but head is there ready for you and if he didn't have the head then he would refund it." Not only did I purchase this head but I also paid for a motor swap which ended up having an oil issue that they did not fix. I also requested for my car's original motor and transmission back, in which the owner said it was recycled. This was without my permission nor did he notify me about it. Later found out he kept it, as he does with other customers car's motor and transmission; then sells them to new customers. Don't take any advice from this place nor do business with it because there only looking to skim by with your money. The owner does not respect customers and he does not respect his workers. This alone tells you enough about himself and his business. I don't want the people from my city getting messed over by this corrupt Non-Texan.

I do not recommend anyone here anymore, due to bad service. Management and staff changed recently and no longer provide the same customer service. The manager there has no people skills and does not seem to care about the horrible customer service he provides clientele. I used Meineke every month for my regular oil changes for the past 4 years at this location and have been very disappointed with my last 3 visits. They always seem to find something new or wrong with my vehicles each time I go and feel pressured to pay for new & unnecessary services each time. A dishonest business does not look out for it's customers and will lose integrity,not just it's customers. I no longer recommend this location to friends and family and am now taking my vehicles elsewhere. Do your research and take your vehicle, where you are appreciated as a customer and where you can trust the people you do business with.
